Brief Summary
One of the most significant subjects studied in abdominal wall surgery is inguinal hernia. Its management is very codified. The main factors evaluating efficient hernia surgery are not only the rate of complications (recurrence and groin pain essentially) but also cost and time to return to normal activities. Desarda technique is a non-mesh technique described first in 2001. This surgical technique uses a flap of external oblique aponeurosis in place of a mesh. Its singularity remains its low cost, no use of mesh, and less extensive dissection Mesh repair has its own limitations; it is unphysiological as mesh is used. Chronic inguinal pain, seroma formation, foreign body sensation, risk of mesh infection are common complications and not recommended in strangulated hernias and extra cost involved by the mesh itself. It involves use of undetached strip of external oblique aponeurosis to strengthen the posterior wall of the inguinal canal which is based on the physiological principles. This is a physiological repair and is tension free, can be used in strangulated hernia. Recurrence and complication rates equal to or less than Lichtenstein's repair. It's a simple procedure, early ambulation and less time of hospital stay, low cost for the patient as mesh is not used and most importantly no question of mesh related complications such as mesh rejection, infection, migration and foreign body sensation and chronic groin pain which is comparatively low in this procedure.

patients diagnosed with oblique inguinal hernia
Interventions
It involves use of undetached strip of external oblique aponeurosis to strengthen the posterior wall of the inguinal canal which is based on the physiological principles. This is a physiological repair and is tension free, can be used in strangulated hernia
Eligibility Criteria
A prospective clinical trial will be conducted on 30 patients diagnosed with oblique inguinal hernia . The study population will go for hernia repair by Desarda technique . The treatment will be herniorrhaphy. All the patients will be followed up after the 1st week, 1st month, 3 month and after 6 month . The efficacy and adverse effects will be compared by statistical analysis.
